On 21st July, 1943 during a nighttime raid near B. Armyanskaya while in a regimental reconnaissance raid, Comrade Rodichev displayed boldness and valor while conducting the operation. When the Germans detected the reconnaissance group, they unleashed a firestorm and tried to surround it, but Comrade Rodichev boldly led his soldiers forward, destroying Germans and personally killing six. During this Comrade Rodichev carried off a wounded soldier, not abandoning him in enemy occupied territory. The reconnaissance group also seized one prisoner. He is deserving of the Order of the Red Star.

Verified by Chief of the Division 4 Section, Guards Major Strakhov (*In this context, I believe "tongues" means prisoners for interrogation.) Last edited by Bill Garvy; 12-20-2012 at 06:59 AM. |
